2D/3D Animator, Illustrator and Motion Graphic Artist - T/A: LeeDanielsART
I am a multi-disciplined 2D/3D Animator, Illustrator & Motion Graphic Artist with career in industry spanning 20+ years, based in London, UK. I began as a Graphic Designer and Digital Photo Retouch Artist in Magazines and Advertising, while illustrating Editorial Cartoons for several published titles.
I’ve spent the last 14 years as a Freelancer producing Animation and VFX for TV and New Media clients including the BBC, Channel 4 and UKTV, as well as Discovery US and National Geographic.
Over the years I’ve worked on hundreds of animated & live action VFX in TV & Web Advertising for Commercial Brands. I am a regular contributor to the incredibly successful animated comedy YouTube channel Mashed (which boasts over 3.5 million subscribers) and I regularly post my own independently produced shorts and creative software Tutorials to my growing 60k subscriber Youtube channel www.Youtube.com/LeeDanielsART.
I am able to take projects from concept (sketch/storyboard) to completion and have a long list of regular clients who have hired me for my ‘Swiss army knife’ approach to any production issue, being that and have the ability, with my extensive software history and experience, to surmount almost any visual production problem with swift and bespoke workarounds, aiding budget and schedule.
As a generalist, my USP is that, I’m a lifelong sketch artist so, while I can concept and visualise anything for any job, with my extensive history in the industry and knowledge of software, I can also take those concepts through to final production.
